- According to Ghana’s Diaspora Affairs Office, approximately 1,500 African Americans settled in the West African country since 2019. That year marked “The Year of Return” initiated by Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo, inviting people of African descent from around the world to come home. These new arrivals added to the estimated 5,000 African Americans and 4,000 Jamaicans who settled in the country in recent decades. Jamaican-born Rique Kofi Ennis is one of them. This week's Caribbean Today interview is a Black History Month feature that seeks to find out why some Jamaicans are settling in Africa.

I have a similar woman in Ghana that handles my money for purchasing building materials, paying workers, etc.
I was always right.Jamaicas problem started the minute people like yourself "want go home"./Y'all willing to go struggle with "mamma Africa" but not Jamaican.Smh/.
What people like yourself fail to realise .Africa owes you nothing and you owe Africa nothing.You are a Jamaican within this dispensation of time ,to go back tracing and connecting dots is out of alignment with the universe.Jamaica is our present reality.A GREAT PLACE THAT IS GROWING AND CURRENTLY NEEDS ITS BRIGHTEST MINDS.
AFRICA HAS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO CAN BUILD AFRICA.WAKE UP JAMAICANS🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Mr.Ennis said " I didn't leave America to live as an American in Africa, I came here to live as the best African in Africa". Very profound.
I visited Ghana last year and spent 3 beautiful and fantastic time I am looking forward to return this year, mature people are treated with respect. love love love the people.
I am a jamaican who used to live in the UK and Germany. I have now in Ghana for just over one year. We baught land and built a house (living off-grid with solar energy and well in the forest ) other small business premises, a wonderfill interview. Everyting the Gentleman said is how I see it. Ghana is a really beautifill place, with true harmony, nuff culture and one of the most friendly people in the world, where u can be yourself. I love Jamaica dearly but Ghana too. There is a world of opportunity in Ghana. Visit Ghana if you can but with an open mind. Thanks for the interview. One love Africa.
The chiefs in Ghana actually sit on thrones as opposed to stools. The problem was that the British wanted to be higher than the Africans so they categorized them as occupants of stools just to belittle or demote their powers. The king of England sits on a throne ( not on a stool) and puts his feet on a stool. What is important and matters the most is that the chiefs in Ghana in those days saw themselves as occupants of thrones, irrespective of how the whites described them.
Jamaicans are Ghanaians if you look into welcome home brother God bless you
This man is a true African, if I can can have his contact I will give him a land free in Ghana
Grow up,we are to emotional.Try to make the best of where u are currently are.This back to Africa movement will blow right up in their faces .It's ridiculous and just shows how emotionally fragile the black man is .The Africans will run these westerners out.MAYBE WE FORGET HOW LIBIREA STARTED AND ENDED
I'll take it. Bruh. He don't love you like I do. ❤💔
Buying land in Africa is much more complicated than buying land in Jamaica. I am happy that things worked out for you.
the mistakes people in the wes t make is that they think Africans are simpletons... incapable of swindling ... But the question would be simple for any african to come to Jamaica buy land and settle? remember just like you refer the the other islands as "small island", by comparison yours is smaller than a lot of african countries... each african country contains different "nations" with different laws/traditions.... so don't be taken in by a smile and a call to brotherhood... there are as many swindlers in Jamaica relatively speaking as there are in ghana or nigeria.... please stop using nollywood as your term of reference... again he kept correcting it is not ghana nian .... it is ghana ian
Never heard Ghanian being pronounced Ghaninian and this lady refused to be corrected 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Not ghana-nian it's #ghanaian ❤🇬🇭✊🏿🕸️🦶🏿🕷️👂🏿
Ghana is home to Jamaica people back to their roots 🇬🇭🇯🇲
I am 63 female I was thinking of going to Ghana in may for the first time but I don't know anyone

Egypt is in Africa, not the middle East, it's next to Sudan and Libya.
Africa was invaded by Muslims, basically Egypt speak Arab and the other north African countries.
Present day Egypt are seen as today Arabs especially in the west and the so called middle east wich was created by The league of Nations after the first world war, when they annex north east Africa and called it the middle east, which was then share between England and France. . One love Africa
not for me but good luck to whom ever is interested in buying land there.
Hundreds of people Building in Gahna nobody Listing to you Africa is not for everyone stay where you are stay Bless
Lands in Ghana are family land and stools. The state doesn't own land. The state acquired land from from stools or families .
is indirectly own by the state by the law. the state only compensate the chiefs for the land and the chief have no power not to accept if for government project.
I want to also be a Ghananian.
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
YES 2016 AND THEN 2019. RIGHT OF ABODE
There is no middleeast. It's all Africa. They changed everything about Afri a
I would never trust anyone in Ghana with my money
She will not listen, kept saying Ghanaanian, loud, and wrong and will not listen to the correct pronunciation. Smh. Is Ghanaian, not Ghanaanian 😮😮
Crazy. Leave paradise for Ghana? Crazy

Ghananian NO! GHANAIAN ...........Ghananian yes that's what i said 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I caught that too 😂😂😂😂 she attempted to correct herself saying the same thing 🤣🤣🤣
@@EmpressYudahRasNaturalLivity It's all love ❤️ lol 😆
@@rasasonchi5581 fully 🖤
You definitely weren't saying Ghanaian the way he was helping you to pronounce it. Don't be too proud to accept correction Ms. Davis. It's pronounced Gaa-neigh-yan not Gaa neigh-ni-yan.
That is the westernized feminist black woman for you.
You can’t tell them nothing.
They know everything.
ENLIGHTEN ME………
Wasn’t Ghana 🇬🇭 the country where enslaved Africans were shipped in SHACKLES???
My question is:-
Why are you happy to return/live in that particular African country???
Nobody can give you a satisfactory answer to your question: you have to experience it yourself, so plan for a visit, and you will find the answer
All over the continent
NOT ghaninian GHANAIAN thank you Mam
You said “Ghananian” ma’am and he tried to correct you that it’s “Ghanaian” and you said that’s what you said. But you didn’t say that. Please learn to listen and be corrected ma’am.
I noticed that too.
That is that westernized feminist black woman for you.
I noticed that too.
The “I don’t need no man to correct me, especially a black man,” attitude of western black woman.
Backward culture
